Wouldn't it also have to be a palindrome before being turned upside down and backwards?
How about mom = wow, sis = sis, pip = did.

No, that doesn't quite do it, other than "sis," because it should be the same word, not a different one. So start with the letters that become themselves or other letters when flipped. Here's my list, even though the first one is a stretch:
b=g, d=p, i=i, l=l, m=w, n=u, o=o, s=s, t=t, z=z
Given that, I've come up with a few:
mow pod tot bug bung suns stunts
My question is whether or not there's a word for these types of words.

There is a very good word for this kind of word: "ambigram." While some words are naturally ambigrams (like sis, mow, and suns above), there is a whole field of calligraphy/word art of these that people have developed.

also a word for help is:

NOON
mom or noon
Radar & civic are palindromes.

If the soldier were carrying a flag, the flag would appear "backwards" when viewed from the soldier's right. Thus, the right side patch is backwards. It's the same reason that the flag is painted backwards on the right side of airplanes and other vehicles.
It would look upside down.
The number 6
This indicates that the letter E is viewed in the microscope at the same orientation as it would be if you were looking at it with the naked eye, without any inversion or flipping. The image is right-side up, suggesting that the microscope does not invert the specimen being observed.
No, the Earth is not rotating backwards. It rotates on its axis in a consistent direction from west to east, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole.
An ambigram is a word or design that retains meaning when viewed from a different orientation, such as upside down or reflected. It appears the same when viewed in these alternate ways.
It is still used as a symbol for St. Peter (who was crucified upside-down). However it has become associated with satanic groups because it is viewed as an opposite for Christianity's cross.
When viewed under a microscope, the letter f would appear as a series of overlapping lines and dots, with a distinct composition of ink or pigment. The individual fibers that make up the paper where the letter is written may also be observable.
